TORM A/S: Q1 Result 2009
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 19, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- By Staff
Company: D/S Torm A/S (TRMD)
"Our first quarter profit after tax of USD 40 million is in line with expectations and satisfactory in light of the difficult markets. Our Greater Efficiency Power project is well on the way to ensure an even more efficient future operation of the Company. Furthermore we have obtained a high degree of coverage of the remaining earning days in 2009," states Mikael Skov, CEO.
-- The profit for the first quarter of 2009 was USD 39 million
before tax and USD 40 million after tax.
-- TORM maintains the pre-tax profit forecast for 2009 of
USD 100 - 140 million incl. sale of vessels as stated on 14 May
2009 (announcement no. 7/2009). However due to the development in
freight rates there is considerable uncertainty about the profit
expectations.
-- Cash flows from operating activities amounted to USD 61 million
for the first quarter.
-- The Company's net interest-bearing debt was USD 1,615 million,
and at the end of the first quarter the Company's undrawn credit
facilities and cash amounted to approx. USD 600 million.
-- Earnings per share (EPS) were USD 0.6 for the first quarter of
2009 against USD 0.8 for the corresponding period of 2008.
-- Return on Invested Capital (RoIC) was 6.8% p.a., and Return on
Equity (RoE) was 12.1% p.a. for the quarter. Equity amounted to
USD 1,341 million (DKK 7.508 million) at 31 March 2009, equaling
a 5% increase. Subsequently, in April, a dividend of DKK 291
million (USD 51 million) was distributed for 2008. At 31 March
2009, the market value of the Company's fleet exceeded the book
value by USD 31 million (DKK 172 million), corresponding to
USD 0.4 per share (DKK 2.5) excluding treasury shares.
-- The Company's "Greater Efficiency Power" project is progressing
according to plan. The project is still expected to contribute
USD 40 - 60 million savings on an annual basis effective from
2010.
-- Product tanker rates began the year at a high level, only to drop
to historical lows in mid-quarter. After the end of the quarter,
rates have recovered somewhat from these low levels. The rate
performance during the period is in line with the normal seasonal
fluctuations as the winter season ends and oil transports
diminish. As a consequence of reduced oil consumption and the
global recession, this year's drop in rates was more severe than
usual. At 31 March 2009, TORM had covered 42% of the remaining
earning days in the Tanker Division at USD/day 21,334.
-- Following the collapse in bulk rates towards the end of 2008,
earnings in the first quarter of 2009 were on average higher than
at the end of 2008. At 31 March 2009, TORM had covered 13% of the
remaining earning days in the Bulk Division at USD/day 13,434.

Tanker Division
The Tanker Division reported an operating profit of USD 25.5 million for the first quarter of 2009.
Product tanker rates began the year at a high level, only to drop to historical lows in mid-quarter. After the end of the quarter, rates have for some routes recovered from these low levels.
Freight rates starting the year strongly and then dropping towards the end of the first and into the second quarter is in line with normal seasonal fluctuations as the winter season ends and oil transports diminish. As a consequence of reduced oil consumption and the global recession, this year's drop in rates was more severe than normally.
The tanker market was affected by the following factors in the first quarter of 2009:
Positive impact:
-- Long transports of gasoil from the Far East to Europe and of
naphtha from Europe to the Far East.
-- Lower spot prices than forward prices for refined oil products
meant increased oil trader activity, making it profitable to use
tankers as floating storage. This reduced the product tanker
fleet, thus supporting freight rates.
-- Discharging delays prolonged port calls, which again reduced the
available product tanker fleet to the benefit of freight rates.
Negative impact:
-- A large supply of newbuildings for delivery in 2009. An
additional 45 LR2, 44 LR1 and 188 MR vessels are expected to be
delivered, equalling a growth of 42%.
-- The decline in global oil consumption reduced the need for oil
product transports. Energy International Administration (EIA)
assesses that the global oil consumption will decline by
1.4 million barrels in 2009, equalling a drop in oil consumption
of 2%.
-- As a consequence of the global recession, a mild winter and few
delays at the Bosporus Strait, freight rates for crude oil
transports in the Mediterranean were low, affecting the Company's
LR2 fleet.
-- A generally negative sentiment in the crude oil and the refined
product markets.
TORM's Tanker Division achieved freight rates in the first quarter of 2009 which, relative to the first quarter of 2008, were 12% lower for the LR1 segment and 12% lower for the MR segment, whereas the rates obtained for the LR2 segment were 23% lower. As a result of a decline in crude oil transports, the LR2 fleet reported a significant drop in earnings, underperforming the market in general. LR1 and MR fleet earnings were affected by the general global economic downturn. With a relatively high coverage, the SR vessels recorded reasonable earnings during the first quarter. At 31 March 2009, TORM had covered 42% of the remaining earning days in the Tanker Division at USD/day 21,334.

Bulk Division
For the first quarter of 2009, the Bulk Division recorded an operating profit of USD 23.7 million, including compensation in the amount of USD 26 million for early returns of four Panamax bulk carriers, which was already announced in the Annual Report for 2008. The compensation has been recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2009.
In the first quarter, bulk rates were very volatile, but higher than at the end of 2008. Freight rates were positively affected by rising iron ore imports to China, which at 131.4 million tons in the first quarter reached a historical high, equaling an increase of 19% compared to the first quarter of 2008. Moreover, 99 bulk carriers, equaling 4.0 million dwt, were scrapped during the first quarter. At 31 March 2009, TORM had covered 13% of the remaining earning days in the Bulk Division at USD/day 13,434.

Pools
At 31 March 2009, the three product tanker pools that TORM operates comprised 93 vessels. To this should be added 24 vessels which TORM operates outside pools. By the end of 2009, the three pools are expected to comprise a total of 102 vessels and 21 vessels outside the pools.
Results
First quarter The first quarter of 2009 showed a gross
profit of USD 98 million, against USD 111
million for 2009 the corresponding quarter of
2008. Profit before depreciation (EBITDA) for
the period was USD 81 million, against USD 93
million for the first quarter of 2008. The
decline in gross profit and EBITDA was due to
generally lower freight rates for product
tankers as well as bulk carriers.
In the first quarter of 2009, depreciation
amounted to USD 32 million.
The operating profit for the first quarter of
2009 was USD 49 million, against USD 62
million in the same quarter of 2008. Of this
amount, the Tanker and Bulk Divisions
contributed USD 26 million and USD 24 million,
respectively. In the first quarter of 2009,
financial items amounted to USD -10 million,
against USD -10 million in the same quarter of
2008.
Profit after tax was USD 40 million, against
USD 52 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Assets Total assets fell from USD 3,317 million to
USD 3,287 million in the first quarter of 2009.
Liabilities The Company's net interest-bearing debt rose
from USD 1,550 million to USD 1,615 million,
primarily as a consequence of a large
investment program in the first quarter of
2009. At the end of the first quarter, the
Company had cash and undrawn credit facilities
amounting to approx. USD 600 million at its
disposal and considers this adequate for the
existing newbuilding program.
Equity In the first quarter of 2009, equity rose from
USD 1,279 million to USD 1,341 million,
primarily as a result of earnings during the
period. With lower total assets and higher
equity, the Company's equity as a percentage
of total assets rose from 38.6% at 31 December
2008 to 40.8% at 31 March 2009.
At 31 March 2009, TORM held 3,556,364 treasury
shares, corresponding to 4.9% of the Company's
share capital, which is unchanged compared
with 31 December 2008.
Subsequent events On 14 May 2009, TORM sold TORM Martha and TORM
Baltic at a price of USD 42.5 million.
Outlook TORM maintains the profit forecast before tax
for 2009 of USD 100-140 million incl. sale of
vessels, as stated in Stock Exchange
Announcement No. 7 of 14 May 2009. However due
to the development in freight rates there is
considerable uncertainty about the profit
expectations.
Sensitivity At the beginning of the second quarter of 2009,
38% of the earning days of the Company's
tankers and bulk carriers were covered for the
remainder of the year.

Safe Harbor Forward-looking statements
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, Management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although TORM believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, TORM cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, changes in demand for "tonne miles" of oil carried by oil tankers, the effect of changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and worldwide oil consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking, changes in TORM's operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations including requirements for double hull tankers or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further described in reports filed by TORM with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including the TORM Annual Report on Form 20-F and its reports on Form 6-K.
Forward looking statements are based on management's current evaluation, and TORM is only under obligation to update and change the listed expectations to the extent required by law.
